New research suggests that Theia, the object whose collision with Earth is theorized to have caused the formation of the moon, came from closer to the sun. Artist’s impression of the collision between ...

The most distant moon since March 2020 takes to the sky today, but you won't be able to see it. The sun's gravity will pull the moon farther away from Earth than it's been in over five years on Nov.

Learn how Albert Einstein’s theory reveals that time on Mars runs faster than on Earth — and why that tiny shift matters for ...

If future missions confirm sustained heat flow at both poles, Enceladus would strengthen its position as one of the more accessible environments for detecting extraterrestrial life within the Solar ...

NASA’s CGS releases the MAGE model to improve space weather prediction, providing simulations of solar storms, auroras, and ...

"The most convincing scenario is that most of the building blocks of Earth and Theia originated in the inner solar system. Earth and Theia are likely to have been neighbors." Over 4.5 billion years ...

About 4.5 billion years ago, a colossal impact between the young Earth and a mysterious planetary body called Theia changed everything—reshaping Earth, forming the Moon, and scattering clues across ...

For Aditya-L1, India's first solar observation mission in space, the year 2026 is expected to be like no other. It's the first time the observatory – which was placed in orbit last year - will be able ...
